Our meetup group spent Tuesday outside of Regent University holding up Ron Paul signs and informing the general public about Ron Paul. We were hoping that since Guiliani was inside that we could get someone in there to cover us as well. We didn't have much luck in that department. But today on Tommy & Rumble, the #1 morning show in Hampton Roads, they said they drove by and saw a crowd supporting Ron Paul. This is third hand paraphrasing, but I still think it was cool that we were mentioned. The person who told me this said that they think one of the hosts seemed like he was a supporter.
So, let me tell you about our Rally. We were on a very busy road very close to the entrance to Regent University. We had between 25 and 30 people there holding signs and some of the traffic slowed down to read the signs. We got a lot of honks and thumbs ups. We never got the opportunity to see Guiliani, but I think we made a good impression. The police were called on us, and they came out and made sure that we were not on private property. They informed us of where the sidewalk ends, and they told us all of the things we were allowed to do. A member brought a bull-horn and we told everyone about Ron Paul's voting record and his stances on everything. One old lady rolled down her window and told us we were too young to know anything. For the most part, other than a massive sunburn, I had a great day.
